Happy ending for YouTube kid distraught that favourite player was leaving team

This young chap was clearly devastated when NFL franchise the Carolina Panthers got rid of their wide receiver of 12 years, Steve Smith.

His dad tries to appeal to his son to pick a new favourite player or even a new favourite team but Gavin just grows increasingly distraught, screaming: ‘I hate the Panthers, I don’t even want a new favourite team’.

However, the magic of the internet soon came into play and, hey presto, Smith, now with the Baltimore Ravens, took to Twitter to track down the hurting youngster.

I need that kids info. If anyone knw him or how to get in touch pls help me… I need help finding Gavin. The crying kid
